It is pretty much just a box opener so my regular knife doesn't get used for opening boxes. For no bigger than it is it has a little weight, definitely sturdy, stays sharp. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teeny tiny but excellent quality. *by E***T on February 9, 2026* Perfect for just keeping in your pocket or in the glove box in your car. The cold steel tri ad lock is hands down the best lock on the market. The knife comes razor sharp! So even though it looks like a cute little toy, it's NOT! BE CAREFUL! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little knife. *by D***E on October 13, 2025* I got this knife because I needed a box opener. It works great for that and about everything else I throw at it. It is small but the finger groove makes the knife like an extension of your hand. It is super lightweight and extremely sharp. The grind lines were perfect on the blade. The small design makes it so people don't get upset when you pull it out to open something. It is a great buy with the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Micro Recon 1 2" 4034SS Razor-Sharp Blade 2.375" Griv-Ex Handle Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock, Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip - Cold Steel Mini Recon 1 3" AUS10A Razor-Sharp Blade 4" GFN Handle Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock, Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip - Cold Steel Recon 1 4" S35VN Razor-Sharp Blade 5.375" G-10 Handle Tactical Folding Knife w/Tri-Ad Lock, Ambidextrous Pocket/Belt Clip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/192278166-micro-recon-1-2-4034ss-razor-sharp-blade-2-375](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/192278166-micro-recon-1-2-4034ss-razor-sharp-blade-2-375) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
